Day 12 and 13: Halong Bay

Day 12 and 13: Today I went out to Halong Bay. The bay was beautiful with emerald green moutains jutting out of the water. The cruise was nice and relaxing for the most part, we took a tour into some of the caves and did a bit of kayaking.

That night I headed out to a little Euro shopping and do check out the local Cha Ca, which is fish braise in broth and served with noodles, fresh dill, and peanuts. It was quite tastey, I ended up sitting with a newlywed Spanish couple. They told me they had dated 30 years before tying the knot, boy that's the longest courtship I have ever heard of!
